Downscaled art, unfortunately, almost always looks rubbish and it is very unlikely that anything created in this way will be suitable for use.

Even though you are correct, It is good practice, I will add on to your point and say it also reduces the outlines that mana world for what ever reason loves so much. But I also want to point out that you don't want background noise (I will call it this) to be as obvious as other things like buildings and mobs.

i would have to disagree...Downscaled art is useful if done right...there are silly filter trick that can get fast results,after Downscaled art its good to cut down the on the number colors and add your detail...keep in mind that Downscaled art will give you size and shape of what you mite want...
use Downscaled art as a guide to get what you want....

upscaled art is not the same and hard to make work in any way...

that what i think

------skipy

If someone manages to make something nice by drawing it large and downscaling it, I have no qualms about it being used. Until then, I stand by my point and urge you to draw things at their final size.

I like it, but I think it's a little too dark. Other than that I like it.

I don't like the choice of colors- I-can't-set-colors-on-MSPaint blue and unmatching "vintage" rotten green.
But shape itself is great.
I'm Image too much.

Why use MS Paint if your art is worse because of it?

you can't point out something I did in gimp and something I did in paint. So don't judge my work based off the program I used.

I also use two different softwares, but instead ms-paint I use kpaint (kolourpaint), just because it gives you alpha-channel and keyboard shorcuts to do things without clicking too much, keep focused on click over pixels.
Here's some try on your draw with kpaint:

I just rotate it and scaled it using kpaint to show some potential of that tool, any other modification maded except a different pallete. It rotates with interpolation-none, not perfect but helps sometimes. A similar tool for windows users could be Paint.net, it also has the same features and some extra.
GIMP is just too evil as to be used always, layers can save some time, but consume your soul :evil:

as we are on the subject of flowers, I would like to see some flower variants, *not including recolors and scales* It would be nice to see the mappers have options.

Not needed, but you are welcome to work on it. Please note, though, that that if you draw it large and downscale it it will likely not be accepted.
